## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability invoket-legal-article-lookup-493d7e4d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the full text of article L2141-3 from the French Labor Code (code = LEGITEXT000006072050) as of today?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve the exact text of a specific French legal article by its code reference, article number, and optional date — especially in agentic workflows where no account or API key setup is desired and payment is handled via x402 stablecoin per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown article code returns empty or error response
- Article not found for the given date returns no data
- Malformed date string causes query failure
- Payment failure via x402 prevents access (402 response)
- Coverage flag may be false, indicating partial article text

## How this service works

The checks your agent runs before it acts: verify a bank account, a phone number, a law in force, the weather or a vehicle — computed from official sources, with provenance in every response. You only pay for answers.

## Output

Returns the full text of the requested legal article along with its label, state (etat), coverage completeness flag, version start date and version ID, and provenance data including the source, freshness timestamp, and when it was fetched.
